ui_component form or php form

Question

What should i follow ui_component form or php form so my module can work on all magento 2 versions. Or Should i create two modules so they will work on magento 2.0 and magento 2.1? Any one else have a better solution for that?

Magento 2.0 totally supports UI Component form, it's not a 2.1 feature only so I suggest you use the UI Component ;)

Also you can find the benefits of using the UI components here: Magento 2: what are the benefits of using UI grid components over the standard Grid.php?

@QaisarSatti you probably have another error somewhere, refer to the sample ui component form module here: https://github.com/magento/magento2-samples/tree/master/sample-module-form-uicomponent – Raphael at Digital Pianism Oct 07 '16 at 10:42

Magento 2.1 you should go with Ui Component for grid and if you don't have any customization in your form then you can use Ui component for form too, but if you have any customization or any changes in buit-in form input types you can use normal php form. but as Magento 2.1 has lots of benefits I prefer to use Ui component for more benefits and use you can refere MagentoDocs

Use ui_component you can do lot of customization with ui_component I used to do custom php forms, but once you realize the power of ui_component I'm sure you'll use it after

You can extend your ui_component elements so you can do whatever, you need.
